Clothes or no clothes, Andreea Diaconu can't help diving into the inviting ocean waters for the 'Grand Bleu' editorial in Vogue Paris' April 2014 issue. The leggy brunette is photographed by celebrated shutterbug Gilles Bensimon, as she enthusiastically skips, leaps and romps through the water.
Editor Claire Dhelen dressed Diaconu in casual, athletic clothing (think denim overalls, jerseys and sweatshirts,) all in varying shades of blue. In fact, there's not a single article that's not a shade of blue; from indigo to cobalt to turquoise, each shade on the spectrum is represented.
Despite the color palette, Diaconu looks the furthest thing from "blue" herself, wearing a carefree grin and mischievous sparkle in her eye. Hair and make-up duo Damien Boissinot and Christelle Cocquet completed the look with wavy hair and natural makeup.
